My cat kills bunnies,full grown bunnies, squirrels, birds and what ever else he can catch. He is a stalker in every sense of the word. We got him on January 1. He just showed up in our yard. We are not able to keep him because after he kills it he lines the kills up at every exit door leaving our home. His kills look worse than a horror movie. We are looking for a home for him. I can't deal with it

Possums do kill chickens. In a slow and horrific way, from the evidence. I wondered how a slow and dimwitted animal like that could catch a chicken when a determined kid frequently has troubles doing so, but the question is easily answered by going in your coop at midnight and grabbing a chicken. The fools are even slower and more dimwitted that an oppossum when its dark and they're half asleep. I think they wake about the time their abdominal cavity is empty when a possum grabs them.

I have 5 cats & 4 of them would probably starve to death before they touched a live chicken. However, one of my cats is a "serial killer" of anything small enough for him to catch & torture. He is one of the reasons my chickens are not allowed to free range.
